Sure. Will look forward to testing it.

Yes, the same problem will also occur for interrupt. What I am referring 
to here is the SPI chipselect. In a child of SPI controller, the reg 
property in child specifies the logical chipselect using a u32 number 
which is then mapped to the physical chipselect by the controller. So 
the Mikrobus CS pin might be SPI_CS0 on one system while it might be 
SPI_CS1 on another. This means we need a way to do the following:


&MIKROBUS_SCK_SPI {
     status = "okay";

     #address-cells = <1>;
     #size-cells = <0>;

     lsm6dsl_click: lsm6dsl-click@...ROBUS_CS_SPI_REG {
         reg = <MIKROBUS_CS_SPI_REG>;
         compatible = "st,lsm6ds3";
         spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
     };
};


Additionally, other pins can also be used as chipselect (Eg, SPI Extend 
Click uses RST and AN as chipselect). Some chipselect might be directly 
controlled by SPI controller while others might be normal GPIOs which 
were added using `cs-gpios` property in the controller.
